With 103 million people forcibly removed from their homes, including over 27 million refugees, the global displacement crisis has reached disturbingly new heights. This session provides attendees with strategies for inclusive and equitable learning spaces, taking both giftedness and the experiences of refugees into account. Topics include exercises in identity and belongingness, culturally-responsive gifted strategies, and therapeutic creativity.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will understand the characteristics of a student identifying as a refugee and gifted and talented within the global displacement crisis.
Participants will develop an awareness of the impact of refugeeism and psychological trauma on an individual’s identity and the corresponding effects on their giftedness and education.
Participants will understand strategies they can put into their classrooms to create inclusive and equitable learning spaces for students that take giftedness and the experiences of refugees into account.
